Voter fraud
“Conservatives are rudderless, but progressives are relentless.”
Out of that whole article, this is all you need to know.
We. Are. Screwed.
The problem is because we don’t really have many Conservatives leaders in elected offices. Many Republicans who run as a Conservatives are fakes. I guestimate maybe 90% of them. Only 10% are true conservatives. This is why noone could articulate counter arguments against Left wing policies because most Republicans actually believe in them too
Without it, they can’t win.
Conservativism is about the government NOT intervening in the market or in daily life unless there is a thoroughly compelling reason to do so.
The criticism of the GOP for failing to jump in with their own response to Hillarycare is therefore a vapid one.
The reason Libs win is our native population is getting dumber, we are importing millions of Socialists, and they all want free stuff.
They always fight (never give in or compromise) and they do not stop fighting (even after they win)
Liberals win because they own the press..... that’s the only reason.
Thanks, Kaslin,
GREAT analysis!
And yet “JEB” still says the GOP will “win” because of our “ideology”...
Politics is a blood sport.
Dem strategists understand this, that’s why they fight dirty. “It’s the economy, stupid”, “war on women”, etc. When have Republicans ever come up with an in-your-face slogan like those?
GOP leaders seem to think each Presidential campaign is a debating club, where you get points for being polite. So they continue to lose, because they always make sure a “get-along” wimp, not a fighter, gets the nomination.
WRONG - you get rewarded for destroying your opponent, by any means possible. Why can’t Repub leaders & strategists understand this??
BTW, That’s also why Trump scares the crap of these “party leaders”.
You win the Cupie Doll.
Obvious to all who care to observe.
But wait until you read some of the “nuanced” comments to come from the trolls. It’ll make you puke.
It’s Conservatism vs Free S*it.
Mittens was right about one thing, to paraphrase:
“How can you fight Santa Claus?”
“The left not only chooses the battlefields, it defines the terms of the fight.”
Yes. This is the key. 1) Libs control the media, so they can jump on any event and immediately spin it the way they want and make it mean whatever they want. This works for them because 2) Libs are led by emotions, not by logic and 3)They think in the short-term, not the long-term. Ask them about the implications of their ideas, and, more than likely, they won’t be able to respond, because they haven’t thought about it! And, even if they end up “believing” two opposing things at the same time, that’s OK with them.
Republicans insist on being straight-laced, calm, and logical. They will never figure it out.
Not at all. While they were supposed to be fighting Obamacare tooth and nail, they were instead dealing with insurance company donors who found ways to profit from it. Instead of refusing to fund it in the HOR, they said "let's use it as a campaign issue so we can get majority in both the HOR and US Senate". They got those majorities, and screwed us with the new "let's fix Obamacare".
You can't fix it or replace it. We need leaders who will articulate a free-market solution. Instead you've got millions more people dependent on Medicare. From what I've seen, most people who get tangled up in Medicare never find their way back into productive self-sufficient lives. We wanted freedom from government interference in our lives; instead the Republicans gave us fascism.
How can you defend these backstabbers? The 'pubs enabled Obamacare. And PS: never forget that GWB expanded federal interference by providing Medicare Part D, the pharmaceutical option for seniors. That should never have been anything but private plans.
Also Libs eat, sleep and breathe politics. Some of these dirty tricks convince me that somebody must have laid awake in bed for several nights thinking them up.
By contrast the rest of us have lives.
With the NEA and the MSM pushing the Liberal agenda... Conservatives have to work three times as hard.
1.) Defeat your opponent
2.) Counter MSM bias
3.) De program NEA bias
If that is the only reason, that the press is helping them with voter fraud
I think we are talking about two different things.
The article points to the failure of Hillarycare, which failed in 1993. It tries to argue that Newt Gingrich & Co. should have jumped in and proposed a “fix” to health care in order to own the issue.
I argue that would not be in keeping with Conservative principles.
The corrupt GOP backstabbing over Obamacare, two decades hence, is a separate issue. (other than obviously that is a much more egregious example of violating Conservative principles).
No, we’re talking about the same thing. The only fix is for the feds to get out of medicine. The “solution” then and now should never have been anything except the free market.
